And he wanted it to be otherwise, right, 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: you know, But it's good that you got like a 59 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: fish and wildlife deal. Yeah. I enjoyed it, and it 60 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: brought me to this area that I'd really never explored 61 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: a whole lot. And I got four years to drive 62 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: around and look at all sorts of ship and so 63 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: you start, you started. Yeah, I I came up here 64 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: in two thousand and fifteen, was my freshman year. And then, uh, 65 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: you did it because of the hunting potential. The bid 66 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: then for me was that when you lived on campus, 67 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: at our public safety you could like check in your shotgun, 68 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: so you could if you lived in the dorms, you 69 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: could put your gun at the public safety and then 70 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: you could go in and check it out, go hunted, 71 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: and back in. And so you lived in dorms. Yeah, 72 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: my first two years. See when I was up here, 73 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: we got a waiver somehow or another. They had like 74 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: a let a sign off you could do that. They 75 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: had to approve if you want to live within the 76 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: first two years. But I did the dorm dorm life 77 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: for two years and then moved off. It's interested to 78 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: this place. I'm glad to hear that lake, the Lake 79 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: state and the up still sucks in hunting fishing kids 80 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: from downstate because me and my brother, uh, they both 81 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: wanted to do fishing wildlife. So we all did community college, 82 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: which we call like thirteenth grade skiing community college. UM, 83 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: and then they came up here. I came up and 84 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: did one year. But I was like, I wanted to 85 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: be a writer by that point mostly, so I only 86 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: did one semester here and then went back down state 87 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: where you could get like a writing whatever the hell? 88 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Yeah at Grand Valley.

As long as Ben's not listening 104 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: to the podcast now, I I uh last year is 105 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: my first year. UM. I really didn't really enjoyed it. UM. 106 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: It was completely different for me. UM coming from Michigan 107 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: where you're hunting honkers and going out there and you're 108 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: hunting lessers and specks and snows, and that was just 109 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: completely different. UM. So I had to there was a 110 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: big learning curve. UM. I'm sure I'll learn more this 111 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: year too. But there's a lot of birds. Everybody at 112 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: the at the business does their part. Everybody works hard, 113 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: and so that was clients on birds. But that was 114 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: your first year. I'm just I'm confused. So last year 115 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: was your first year guiding there or first year as 116 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: a guide ever, um, first year guiding there, And I 117 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: did a few controlled uh pheasant hunts here in Michigan 118 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: as branches um, but that was about it. And then 119 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: obviously out there is like four and a half months 120 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: of guiding, so it's a grind UM. And then I 121 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: come back here and this year I have a good 122 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: buddy uh kind of central up that runs bear hunts, 123 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: and I went out there and I helped him run 124 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: bear clients UM in September, and then I ran a 125 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: few hunter hunts up here too. So when you're doing 126 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: the bear clients, you guys are it's it's like draw 127 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: tech eggs, but you're running. You're running baits in September YEP. 128 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: So it's all we have a point system for our 129 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: bear tags here, um, and then we run. We took 130 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: on twenty clients and we run thirty five different baits. UM, 131 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: so we stay busy. Do you just get big bears? Um? 132 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: We had a lot on camera. The biggest bear we 133 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: killed us three hundred pounds, which for mission, our average 134 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: black bears a pounds. That's a good bear. But we 135 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: had a lot of pictures, you know, four or five pounders. 136 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: But when you get clients in the stand that have 137 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: never seen a bear before, the smaller ones is always 138 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: trying to come in first. When that one watchs then 139 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: to them it looks like the four hundred pounder and 140 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: they shoot it. But we didn't have like when I 141 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: lived in Lower Lower Peninsula, we didn't have bear hunting. 142 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: There was just there was bear hunting a little bit 143 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: north of us. We didn't have bear hunting where we live, 144 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: so like, bear tags weren't really on our radar. UM. Well, 145 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: my brother Danny started going to school up here. He 146 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: right away drew a bear tag. So we started going 147 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: out and U shooting carp with our bows, which isn't 148 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: the best. Baby didn't really know what we're doing. And 149 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: I had a big freezer already used to freeze like 150 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: muskrats and stuff during trapping season. We filled that thing 151 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: up with bags of carp um that we shot with 152 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: our bows. And so he started. He started a little 153 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: bait stationed up here and right away killed and I 154 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: remember he had a nice one. He killed like a 155 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: two pound boar um right away. And then my other 156 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: brother when he came up here, he got a bear 157 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: tag and he went and did like the thing where 158 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: you go around and get expired. Yeah, you know, remember 159 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: it so funny. He came into a case of bugles. 160 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: You know, it was like little bugles. Yeah, put him 161 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: on your fingers or you get cheese. Like I remember 162 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: a guy used to when I was working for doing 163 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: a millwright work for Ronnie Bam, there was a guy 164 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: that he had who had had too many d u 165 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: s and couldn't drive anymore. So I was like his 166 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: basing his chauffeur because he knew how to do a 167 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: lot of the jobs. So I became like I had 168 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: to drive him around because he couldn't drive, and that 169 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: learned how to do all of it. The stuff he did. 170 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: His favorite treat on Friday night driving back from the 171 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: job is he get bugles in a thing of squirt 172 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: cheese in black olves.

But then he's like dumped him. 181 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: Then he dumped some of the box into the bait thing. 182 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: But it finally becomes the first day and he comes 183 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: out there with a He goes out there with a 184 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: bucket to add the bait pile, right, and he goes 185 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: and dumps the bucket on the bait pile. And he's 186 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: getting situated in his blind and realize that ship I 187 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: left a bucket at the bait pile.

I think it broke itself. Sean, 335 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: lay out what we're working on here. We're working on 336 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: a new show called Duck Lore. We're in Michigan hunting ducks, 337 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: hunting divers on the Big Water, and we're putting together 338 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: a whole new waterfowl series and Shawn's at the helm. 339 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: At the Helm, you get to see him every single time. 340 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: We're covering all kinds of different ducks, different places, really 341 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: gathering the waterfowl experience across the whole range of places. 342 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: Started in Texas. Now we're all the way up here 343 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: in Michigan, which seems backwards for the migration. Yeah, we're 344 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: did you stop along the way um North Dakota and Nebraska, 345 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: so we're on trip four. Then you're gonna head west 346 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: from here. We're gonna talk more. We'll talk more about 347 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: that in a minute, but a couple of updates. The 348 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: House of bodities. So the auction House of Bodies run 349 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: to group three. Now, well, when you're listening to this, 350 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: run a group three. We're a couple of days ahead 351 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: of the schedule here because right now we got what 352 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: kind of how do hell do you say, Daniel's dog. 353 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: We always been calling it a drop or something just 354 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: for short, I'm the wrong guy to ask the dogs 355 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: kicking ass on the auction house, what's it sitting at. 356 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: It's currently it's sitting at like it's a good puppy. 357 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: But you know what, they have four pups. So the 358 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: way it's gonna work is the winning bidder works with 359 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: the breeder to select which dog is back like what 360 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: they want to Uh. Basically, male female will pick on 361 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: the litter from their perspective, they get to pick because 362 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: there's four different dogs. So the breeder will work with 363 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: you to find out what you want.

We hadd on Paul Lewis from f h 443 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: F Gear, who is a retired police officer, and we 444 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: were trying to do a segment with Paul like called 445 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: ask cop because like weird stuff cops do. You could 446 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: ask like he's retired, he has got no skin in 447 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: the game anymore. You could be like, why do you 448 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: guys always right, yeah, do whatever they do. So we're 449 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: like asking Paul, why do you guys tend to all 450 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden decided to turn on your lights and 451 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: scirt down the road and then turn him back off again. 452 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: You know that's the thing they do. Well. A cop 453 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: from Cheyenne, Wyoming rode in and he said, I was 454 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: This is to quote him. I was shocked, shocked to 455 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: hear Paul describe the use of light sirens to get 456 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: back to the office. He recognizes that Paul was joking, perhaps, 457 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: but this is a thing that he really wanted to 458 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: a myth that he wanted to dispel. He's a fire 459 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: fighter Cheyenne, Wyoming. He's in the officer seat, meaning he's 460 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: in control of the lights sirens on the fire truck. 461 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: He's very aware of public perception of this very activity 462 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: and it always bothers me. He calls it running emergent 463 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: and then shutting off lights sirens prior to making it unseen. 464 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: He says, upper case never, so like a Trumpian use 465 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: of upper case, we would upper case never use an 466 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,719 Speaker 1: emergent response to get back to the station, to get dinner, 467 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: to get to the bathroom, or any other non emergency. 468 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: You could get fired for doing that, and not only 469 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: it's an inherent danger to ourselves and the public. Here's 470 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: what he says happens. Someone calls, holy sh it, much 471 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: smoke coming out of the neighbor's window. Okay. The first 472 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: information you have is there's an emergency situation. You respond accordingly. 473 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: Then it's often followed up by the dispatcher cooking, incident 474 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: under control, shut the lightstone or car crash. Okay, emergency. 475 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: Then it follows up it's minor. You're still going, but 476 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: it's not worth mm hmm. All the pomp and circumstance, says, 477 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: that's why we we trigger turn the shift on. Information 478 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: continues to feed in, is determined that it's non emergency, 479 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: you shut it off, and that's why that's happening. This 480 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: guy hates when this occurs. Oh you gotta feel. But 481 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: then listen goes on because Paul from f HF has 482 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: a response, current arranged response. So now we have a debate. 483 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: Paul says, I would agree with him and that this 484 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: is something that would not be looked at favorably by 485 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: the public or administration. Certainly not something we'd stand for normally. 486 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: And I was trying to add a little humor. It's 487 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: something that we joke about, but really not do. That's said. 488 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: That's said. I saw a bathroom emergency happened once in 489 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: the middle of the night after leaving a standoff with 490 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: a guy with a gun ten years ago. Times have changed, 491 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: but he does he does. Uh, he does concede point 492 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: nine percent of the time. It's because of changing circumstances 493 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: from the collar. Now, here's another interesting deal. When we 494 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 1: are and talking about antelope hunting and and we have 495 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: an antelope hunting episode up on Netflix right now, and 496 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: then it we use a game bag. Yeah, we use 497 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: a game bag on a like a I can't remember 498 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: putting on a tripod or gun barrel. We can put 499 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: on the barrel my rifle and waving the wind and 500 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: um to get an analop's attention. Now, I always felt 501 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: that the white mattered because like antelo burn blazoned with 502 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: a big white panel on their flank. And uh, it's 503 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: not for camouflage. It's for yeah, seeing each other out 504 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: in wide open you know, on wide open ground. But 505 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: this guy ran into this uh this historic account. So 506 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: there's a report, a report on an expedition down the 507 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: Zuni in Colorado Rivers by Lorenzo Sill Grieves in eighteen 508 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: fifty one, and the expedition had a naturalist assigned to 509 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: the expedition named S. W. Woodhouse. He talks about what 510 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: a pain and the acid is to get within rifle 511 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: range of Ani back in efty one. They see it 512 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: coming and they book off, and these guys are, you know, 513 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: shooting at that point in time. These guys are shooting, uh, 514 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, muzzleloading rifles. But the way he can't get in, 515 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: And he said the hunters would just tie a red 516 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: handkerchief to a stick and creep through the grass holding 517 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: the red handkerchief up on a stick. And he said 518 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: that would inspire a lot of curiosity on the thing, 519 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: or it even come near so that a little bit 520 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: undoes my whole white thing. Yeah, why does it need 521 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: to be red? I think that he thinks the bloody 522 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: antelope is coming and he's like, why is that antelope 523 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: so drenched in blood? Does he need help? No? I 524 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: don't know. I think you can see it? What's that? 525 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: Can they see the difference? I don't. I don't know 526 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: enough between a red and a white? Well, I mean 527 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: they could. Is it that much of a difference and 528 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: through an antelope's eyes that it would be like, oh, 529 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go there because it's red not white, or 530 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: white not red. Well, here's the deal. I thought the 531 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: white because because it matches the neck, because it was 532 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: like he's seeing right now, I believe or maybe I 533 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: don't know that. Maybe this guy I don't know enough 534 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: about Francis Wharton and who's this other hoser? No, that's 535 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: not him, Francis Warton, that's listen. You won't believe Francis Warton, 536 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: s W. Woodhouse in Lorenzo sit Graves, I don't know. 537 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: They sound like trustworthy names. Do you feel if you 538 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: can judge them by that? I think I think it's weird, 539 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: Like if let's say the antelope side his buddy all 540 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: bloodied up. I'm joking about the blood. Okay, I don't 541 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: think that he thinks it's a bloody antelope. I think 542 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: it's like, I think it's just curiosity stuff. But what's 543 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: funny is when you're reading historic stuff, these are the 544 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: kind of names everybody has. Lorenzo sit Greaves and s. W. 545 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: Woodhouse sound like dudes. Yeah, from expedition. Yeah, you can 546 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: hear those names in like a Ken Burns documentary, like 547 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: we would never be sitting here, and I would never 548 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: be like I'm sitting here with that S. W. Woodhouse. 549 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,239 Speaker 1: It's just because you don't he's dead or can't come 550 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: on the show. This next story is super interesting. I 551 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: don't know how we never heard about this before. Canadian 552 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: guy wrote in, because we're probably talking about stuff to 553 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: do with bones and whatnot, you know, like making like 554 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: truck shifters out of your own hip joint when you 555 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: get your leg amputated. Well, this guy is sending about 556 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: this dude named Francis Wharton, who also sounds like a 557 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: guy to be dead for a while now. He was 558 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: at Little Fort, British Columbia in the fifties and sixties. 559 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: Missing all his teeth, couldn't eat meat anymore. He goes 560 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: out and kills a deer and then ends up eating 561 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: the deer with the deer's own teeth. Made a pair 562 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: of dentures out of the deer's teeth. I'm curious and 563 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: ate the deer with those deer's teeth. I'm curious how 564 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: quick he made those dentures. That's the part. But I 565 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: don't understand. That's where I smell a fish. I think 566 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: he might have eight The next year. But I don't 567 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: mean to take away because there's a photo of this 568 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: guy and when you look at him, he's kind of 569 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: got his half smile, he's got what you might call 570 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: his ship eating grin. And you could tell something's not 571 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: quite right with his teeth. Right, would you look at 572 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: me like there's something not quite right with his teeth. 573 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: It looks like someone took a file to him. He 574 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: but listen, you can go to a museum and see 575 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: the guy's damn teeth. He made a full upper denture 576 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: out of a deer's teeth. The collections manager at the 577 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: Museum of Healthcare and Kingston has the teeth on display, 578 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: filed him down, put him into a base of wood, 579 00:35:54,360 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: plastic and household cement warm for three years. They describe 580 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: him as kind of loose, kind of dark and dirty. 581 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: He must use a lot of polydon. It's a great idea. 582 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,240 Speaker 1: It's impressive. I feel like eating meat with him hadn't 583 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: been kind of challenging to his deer teeth aren't naturally 584 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: like deer don't eat meat, you know. And and these 585 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: are to be clear, he had to kill he had 586 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: more than one deer's where the teeth in there because 587 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: these are just the incisors. Mm hmm. Right, he's got 588 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: like a whole row of incisors. Look at the set 589 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: of those dentures, pretty wild looking. Yeah, you just kind 590 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: of have to know it. Wow, that's great. I like 591 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: hearing that there's a place called the Museum of Healthcare. 592 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: Is that something you do? You get, you get like 593 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: satisfaction And that's sort of like if you want to 594 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: call it poetry whatever of I of him eating the 595 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: dear meat with the deer's own teeth, because to me, 596 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 1: that just makes me roll my eyes a little bit. Yeah, 597 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 1: I like the poetry of it. There's something that speaks 598 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 1: to you, like, uh, there's something kind of writer early 599 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: that speaks to you. But then also, what's my you know, 600 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: my favorite quote, right, uh? Brevity, No, skepticism, skeptics. Skepticism 601 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: is the chastity of the Indian. So when I hear it, 602 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: I need to go to a skeptical place. Which my 603 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: skepticism drives my kid bananas because everything he tells me, 604 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: because probably here's the thing with kids, they they mess 605 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: up every YouTube video they see.

Here's 636 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: a good story. Guy wrote it in about some adults 637 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: could use that too. Yeah, oh yeah, you know what, 638 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: there should be a setting you could go into your 639 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: if your friends kind of a dumbass should go and 640 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: do like a setting that he doesn't know about that 641 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: protects him. Yeah, that protects him from stuff he's not 642 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: gonna be able to apply skepticism too, Like like a 643 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: little sliding bar of you can turn up or down 644 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: how skeptical the person is. And if your buddy's like 645 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: not skeptical, he's go slide that bar way down and 646 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: it'll he serves them like very plausible fact check material. 647 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: There you go. Fire no more million dollar envelopes for Max. 648 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: A guy from Minnesota rolled in with a great trapping 649 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: story from when he was thirteen, so he was outdoor 650 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: obsessed kid. He trapped mink, raccoon's beavers of a nearby 651 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: river and his uh old man, check this out. This 652 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: is where you gotta pay attention. His old man's a veterinarian. 653 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: Apparently I didn't know this would it makes sense. Veterinarians 654 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 1: have a carcass freezer for all the dead dogs and whatnot, 655 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 1: dead cats and dogs, okay, and because when they got 656 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: to euthanize a dog, they freeze it and then it 657 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: gets sent to the dog cremation place. Since they had 658 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: the big freezer, he would store his trapped animals in there, 659 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: waiting to skin them, or waiting he would bring him 660 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: in like if he would sell them. Uh, he would 661 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: sell some of us fur in the round owned it's 662 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: for a trapping term. He one time goes down to 663 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: the fur buyer and he's emptying all his bags out 664 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: and outcomes a miniature Schnauzer in place of his raccoon. 665 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: Got the bags swapped, goes back home and there is 666 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: no raccoon in that freezer. So someone he thinks someone 667 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: to this day has the creamines of their dog, but 668 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: in fact it's his raccoon probably sitting above the fireplace. 669 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: Never got it right the fur buyer's face when that, yeah, 670 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: I got up, came rolling out weird looking raccoon. Here's 671 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: another good thing that we found. Uh kran drugged us up. 672 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: You're talking about whether or not you should like like 673 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: not the morals of shooting collar dear. It's not a 674 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: more issues the esthetics of shooting a collar deer like 675 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: I would have and I've I've made this clear many occasions. 676 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: I would have a very hard time. Not not that 677 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to do it. I couldn't do it. 678 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: Shoot a deer of the Colorado or whatever. The collar 679 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: on it just just to me because it feels um 680 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 1: tainted by the hands of man. And it brings up 681 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: the thing of why is a banded duck cool? To 682 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: which I just like, I don't know. I agree that 683 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: they're cool, but I can't explain it. I can't explain it. 684 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: But a collar deer is not cool. But this guy 685 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: got himself a doe not only with the collar, but 686 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 1: two ear tags, and got it mounted ear tags and 687 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 1: collar and a little radio and oh yeah, full on 688 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: mountain on his wall. I grew up near the U 689 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: s d A Clinic in Ames, Iowa. And you know, 690 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: they've got a whole penza deer outside ear tagged and 691 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: it looks like a runaway got their defense. Well no, 692 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: but it's got that collar. Yeah, of collars, the extra. 693 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 1: So the guy that shot the collared white tailed doe 694 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: was Roy Winnings of Illinois. He's he's got some hunting 695 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: land in Moultrie County and he watches dough trumpet around 696 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: on there for four years wearing a GPS track and collar. 697 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: Killed her in two thousand twelve. It appeared to him 698 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: that her health was declining. She'd been tagged by the 699 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: Southern Illinois University Carbondale near Shelbyville, nine miles away from 700 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: his land. Okay, so she made it nine miles to 701 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,800 Speaker 1: his place. Turned out the dough was seven and a 702 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: half years old in two thousand nine, so three years 703 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: prior to her to him killing it, she had an 704 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: annual home range size of one six acres. That's pretty interesting. 705 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: It just does not seem that big at all when 706 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: you bump it and you think it's like, gone, yeah, 707 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: a square miles. When you bump her and you're like, oh, 708 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: it's like they don't go far. No, not at all, 709 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 1: but it's interesting that. But consider this too, though she 710 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: moved nine miles right, so she's running like an annual 711 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 1: home range of a hundred and six acres. But at 712 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,839 Speaker 1: points of time, what Wasever was inspired to like move 713 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: nine miles to over the course? You think the human 714 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 1: handling could have been that two though, possibly, but I 715 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: don't think it's if you look at like I'm gonna 716 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,280 Speaker 1: talk about this dude, Kevin Montieth for men who runs 717 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: all these these dear coloring projects and wyoming and they 718 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: act real normal and then they go do something weird 719 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: and then the agg you know, I shouldn't say at normal, 720 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: they're in a spot and then now and then for 721 00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: whatever reason, they strike off. We were having on the show. Argument. 722 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: That was an argument Jason Phelps and Phelps game calls 723 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: I've been laying out for him the emergent thinking that 724 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: UM nutrition is more important to antler growth than genetics. Yeah, 725 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: because Phelps is still like the old like, oh that 726 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: area's got good genetics, that area doesn't have good genetics, 727 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: And researchers are turning up that like nutrition UM not 728 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 1: only is it perhaps more important but it's more controllable 729 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: if you look at herd size and habitat quality. And 730 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: we had Kevin montiethon to explain some of his work 731 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But I want to recap 732 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 1: a little bit because where I'm having like a somewhat 733 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: spirited email exchange between Phelps and Kevin Monteith from University 734 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: of Wyoming and trying to convince Phelps of what we're saying. 735 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna refer back to something that Monteth discussed 736 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: when he was on the podcast a couple of years ago. 737 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,399 Speaker 1: They took white tails from the Black Hills and from 738 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: eastern South Dakota, so you have go ahead. They actually 739 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: put them. That was at South Dakota State where they 740 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,720 Speaker 1: moved to live. So they're taking white tails from a 741 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: piss poor uh genetics area, Black Hills, and they're taking 742 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: white tails from a good genetics area eastern South Dakota, right, 743 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: And they're saying, Okay, so suppose they got this whole 744 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: genetics thing and they bring them into captivity and have 745 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: them raised fawns under identical conditions. So here you have 746 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: the good genetics, dear, the bad genetics. Dear, you keep 747 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: them separated. So you got the same males and females 748 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 1: from the genetics area, but everybody's eating the same ship 749 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: in the same in place. Okay. Now what they find 750 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: when they do this as they raise these fawns under 751 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:12,280 Speaker 1: identical conditions, the deer are radically different sizes as adults 752 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: when they're brought there. Okay, but they're only bred within 753 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: their respective regions of origins. Now, the male fawns made 754 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 1: up for more than seventy of the difference in size 755 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: that originated between the two regions, So already just the 756 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 1: first batch of fawns makes up sevent the difference under 757 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: similar circumstances. The reason it didn't do it all the 758 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: way is because the in utero effects of it still 759 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: haven't been born out, Meaning a box potential is in 760 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: some ways decided by the condition that the dough is 761 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: in when she becomes ms pregnant. Yeah, like the in 762 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: utero conditions that that thing will hit the ground with 763 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 1: its fate already sealed based on as the condition its 764 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: mother as she lactated, in the condition that the mother's 765 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: in as she like developed. The fetus goes on to 766 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: talk about, well, some areas w where you have different 767 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 1: stuff you could have. They got deer where they have. 768 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 1: There's a dough that has a very good year, and 769 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: she puts off a total slob of a buck, But 770 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 1: it takes five years for that buck to reach maturity. 771 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: But what's gonna happen in five years has already been 772 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: determined by what happened in her belly. So she could 773 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: have a bad year and put off a buck that 774 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: will never develop into anything five years down the road. 775 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: The next year gonna have a great year and put 776 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 1: off a buck that will turn into a tanker in 777 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: five years. But you're not seeing the results of that 778 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: for such a enormously long time. They had a a 779 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: buck that was born in two thousand and seventeen following 780 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: a winner in which his mom nearly died of starvation, 781 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 1: but she pulled through and raised both him and his sister. 782 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: He bore the consequences of that experience, that prenatal experience. 783 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: He bore it for the rest of his life. When 784 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: he was a two year old, he had a tiny 785 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 1: forky antlers that anyone would have said without question he 786 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: was a yearly. As a three year old, he was 787 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,319 Speaker 1: the size of a small two year old. People are 788 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: looked and said, oh, he had bad genetics. Monty said, 789 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: it's crap. He had a mom that was barely surviving 790 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 1: and did not have adequate nutrition to give him the 791 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 1: silver spoon and instead passed on a negative maternal effect 792 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: that this male will never be able to pull out 793 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: of for his life. He goes on to bring up 794 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: this thing, he will never be able to express his 795 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: genetic potential, meaning genetically he might have the potential to 796 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: have big antlers, but he just can't and won't. It's 797 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: called the cohort effect, where in males born in some 798 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 1: years on average have larger or smaller antlers than those 799 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: born in other years, even if they are harvested at 800 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 1: the same age and live in the same places. It 801 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: comes down to what mom was able to do for them. 802 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 1: Even more nuanced is each female within each year. Maybe 803 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: mom raised twin. I'm I'm reading Monty's own email right now. 804 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: Maybe mom raised twins one year and paid the price 805 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 1: for it, and goes into the next year in poorer 806 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: than average condition. She will have less to give than 807 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: the mom right next to her that lost her fawns 808 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 1: early the year before, and carry is a heap of 809 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: fat they are liable to produce males with different expressions 810 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: of potential. And Yep, there are also micro nuances in 811 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: the ranges they inhabit and the quality of the resources 812 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 1: they have access to. He goes on to say that 813 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: this this applies the horns, not his antlers, but it 814 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: brings up an interesting that deer hunter will always talk about. 815 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,439 Speaker 1: They'll be like, it's a good antler growth year this year. 816 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: M right. You always hear that what you might be 817 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: seeing is you might be seeing that four years ago 818 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 1: was a great year. Mild winner, was a great year 819 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: for does, a great year for big healthy fat does. 820 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:53,919 Speaker 1: That produced a batch of great box that are now 821 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: coming into maturity. And you're seeing a great antler year 822 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 1: as an expression of great times before. So we need 823 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 1: to as we talked about this, we need to point 824 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,800 Speaker 1: out this difference the wildlife student. You'll be able that 825 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 1: you'll be able to track antlers. Of course, this as 826 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 1: I had to explain to my kids every week. Antlers 827 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: are a bony material that falls off every year. Different 828 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: like antlers and horns are different. Horns and animal carry 829 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 1: with the exception of the American prong horned horned animals 830 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 1: carry their horns their entire life. So they're looking at 831 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: a population of unhunted big horn sheet in the Sierra Nevadas. 832 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 1: They can explain over eighty per of the variation in 833 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 1: horn size of adult males just by knowing how fat 834 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: the moms were in those ranges. Sean's got his hand up, 835 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 1: not his hand up, but his hand open, open in 836 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: a very wonder It just makes me wonder how new 837 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: is all this knowledge? Because you've heard the genetics discussion 838 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 1: for so long, but it seems like, you know, mom's 839 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: being healthy. Is like with what Monteth's writing here, seems 840 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: that plays way so much more of a factor than genetics. 841 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: Why is genetics always been the discussion? I don't know, 842 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: but but here it's a great point. And it frustrates 843 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: him because one of the things he gets at is 844 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: if you're interested in heard health and and you accept 845 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: uh that and I think you should Courtney, what he's saying. 846 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 1: You look at me, like, why do big anglers matter? Right? 847 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 1: The cool you know whatever, the cool to look at, 848 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 1: cool to hang on the wall, you could look and 849 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 1: if you take this work like this work has implications 850 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,320 Speaker 1: if it is this crazy genetic stuff, and he He 851 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 1: never denies that genetic like it's a thing. Yeah, but 852 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: it's the thing we can It's a thing that we 853 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: have no ability to influence or control. But he goes, 854 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: we can't absolutely control quality, not control. We can influence 855 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 1: quality of habitat. We can influence herd size. And if 856 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 1: you can say that, like and you not say you 857 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 1: can you show, demonstrate, prove the big antlers are a 858 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 1: function of habitat quality. Right, that winds up being a 859 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 1: thing that we can talk about and work toward and 860 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 1: measure and like apply the logic to the landscape of 861 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,439 Speaker 1: how do we measure and demonstrate like a healthy herded here? 862 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:45,399 Speaker 1: What's too many? What is how? Yeah? What is quality habitat? Right? 863 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,399 Speaker 1: And if over time you see that areas that traditionally 864 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: we're producing big box and they don't anymore. Um, is 865 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: it that the genetics went to ship or is it 866 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: that we've degraded the habitat or we're not managing herd 867 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 1: size effectively. Do you think at some point those two 868 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: go hand in hand Over a long enough period of time, 869 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: like a line of white tails just were malnourished over 870 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: enough years, wouldn't that kind of lower their genetic potential. No, 871 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: because it has to be heritable. And Monty talks a 872 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 1: lot about like, when you talk about genetics, you have 873 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 1: to be talking about things that are heritable qualities. Okay, uh, 874 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,759 Speaker 1: Remember we were talking with Cal. We're gonna touch on 875 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 1: this later. We're talking with Cal about people saying that 876 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:40,360 Speaker 1: you're driving with rattlesnakes, that when you kill rattlesnakes that rattle, 877 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: you are making them more dangerous. You're making rattlesnakes more 878 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,279 Speaker 1: dangerous because you're only leaving the ones that don't rattle. First, 879 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,879 Speaker 1: heffle Finger rolled in about that. He goes, well, first, 880 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: you'd have to believe that it's tendency to rattle or 881 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: not is heritable, meaning that its tendency to rattle is 882 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: something that it inherits inherits from its mother or father, 883 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 1: rather than its tendency to rattle is based on conditions 884 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 1: time of year, air temperature, proximity of threat. Right that, 885 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 1: why do you think that it like got it from 886 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 1: its dad rather than it has to do with what 887 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 1: its physical circumstances are at the moment. So Montith gets 888 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: into this in this email chain we're having, he gets 889 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: into this idea of people saying you shot out the genetics. 890 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,840 Speaker 1: They got overhunted, they shot all the big bucks and 891 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: now there's no big Bucks genetics to go around to this, 892 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 1: he says, quote crap. No, it's like hell no, ship. No, 893 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 1: I've never heard of crap. It's a few other words 894 00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: that I've heard before. Crap thinks he's using the university. 895 00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 1: Uh email deal here, mantape. You understand his position. Man, 896 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: He's a respect he's a respectable dude and knows what 897 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 1: you know. I like it. Yeah, he's know what he's doing. 898 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 1: He explains that it takes such an extreme level of 899 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 1: harvest intensity that is perfectly selective to achieve that. He says, 900 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: it's something we will never achieve in the real world. 901 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 1: He says, bighorn sheep again, a horned animal that has 902 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: very selective pressure on small populations, is the one place 903 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 1: you could perhaps achieve this, And he points to a 904 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 1: paper by a guy named Lachar which he attached to 905 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: be like, that's the thing you could potentially see, but 906 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: in the Antler world quote not stinking possible. An't gonna happen. 907 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm want to recap again. Go ahead, Shawn's got his 908 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 1: hand off, Sorry, but I want to I want to, like, 909 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 1: not on the antlers, but on the rattlesnake thing. I mean, 910 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:13,640 Speaker 1: isn't that what adaptation is? Though, is eventual genetic change 911 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,800 Speaker 1: to you live or you die, and so like saying 912 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: that rattlesnakes no longer rattling is just like a fluke 913 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: and isn't like a genetic adaptation to the ones that 914 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 1: rattle get killed and the ones that don't don't it 915 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: has to happen. Well, we're gonna answer all that because 916 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: when we get into halfle fingers thing about snakes, we're 917 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: gonna cover just how many rattlesnakes are out there, um, approximately, 918 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:49,439 Speaker 1: how many are killed every year, the factors that lead 919 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 1: a rattlesnake to rattle, the impacts of air, temperature, unrattling, Um, 920 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 1: it ain't gonna happ mhm. I remember that that was 921 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 1: another Black Hills South Dakota like original that was bare 922 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 1: they're going to kill off all the rat rattling kind 923 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 1: I remember hearing that on I'm pretty sure it was 924 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: NPR or South Dakota Public Radio years ago. Was a 925 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 1: piece they did on really that rattlesnakes and the Black Hills, 926 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 1: don't rattle anymore. He also gets into the only really 927 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: like industrialized killing of rattlesnakes that rattlesnake round ups for instance, 928 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 1: So like, where really are snakes dying by humans? It 929 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with rattling. They're getting him out 930 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 1: of Denny locations. This is not a thing, Tony. We'll 931 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 1: cover it. I want to get back to Montee though. 932 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,440 Speaker 1: He's an eloquent dude. Oh yeah, so it is. Finally, 933 00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 1: all this comes back to what has become for me 934 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 1: a bit of a long term goal in my career 935 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 1: relative to impact, and that is I hope that someday 936 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: when an incredibly large male is harvested, rather than the 937 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 1: response being oh, look at those genetics, it is instead 938 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 1: that boy must have had a fat mom. He's talking 939 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 1: about humans here. No, no, no, I like that, he says. 940 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: For one, this is a reality. For two, it importantly 941 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 1: shifts our focus is something that matters and that we 942 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: can influence. We will never be able to tip the 943 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: scale in the unseen and imaginary world of genetics to 944 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 1: grow bigger antlers, till that to all them do your farmers. 945 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: That's a whole different world, though, But the scale we 946 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:53,439 Speaker 1: can tip is that of nutrition, both through considering her 947 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 1: density and habitat quality, all of which shifts our focus 948 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: from what is on the head of the animal to 949 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: what is on the ground to make more headway in 950 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 1: the world of conservation, that is where our hearts and 951 01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: minds need to go. You got that. I like it. 952 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Dude's good, Okay, ruddy sean, you can explain something the 953 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 1: two tier Nebraska duck system. Now, someone might be sitting 954 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 1: there at home thinking, why the hell would I care 955 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 1: about Nebraska's whatever that means to tier duck system. But 956 01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, Man, it's a test plot or it's 957 01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: a test and they're doing South Dakota too. I don't 958 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:48,720 Speaker 1: think I like it. Explain it. So, Nebraska and South 959 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Dakota are testing a tiered license system where you have 960 01:01:54,840 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 1: a tier one, which is your normal federally set by 961 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 1: fly away license um or by fly away bag limits. 962 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 1: So you have, for example, in the Central Flyway with 963 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 1: South Dkota, Nebraska, you get six ducks a day, and 964 01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 1: a variety of like species have more stringent more stringent 965 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,479 Speaker 1: bag limits by species, so mallards you can shoot five 966 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 1: mallards a day in Nebraska only two of which can 967 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 1: be hands or you can only shoot one pintail. But 968 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 1: Nebraska and South Dakota are testing a second bag limit 969 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: tier or a different license that allows you to just 970 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: shoot three ducks a day. But whatever you want them 971 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 1: to be. It's just they're selling this as to get 972 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 1: more people duck hunting. Yeah, and my problems are we 973 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,479 Speaker 1: really like, are there really like a lot of ducks 974 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 1: flying around that no one's hunting for? And I have 975 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 1: never exactly and I've never met uh a person that's 976 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 1: like I would buy a duck hunting license, but I 977 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: can't tell what a mallard hen is, so I'm not 978 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 1: gonna go. That's what the thinking is though. It's like 979 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 1: it's too hard to tell ducks apart, So just sell 980 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 1: like a little ship in license where someone could just 981 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: go kill whatever they want, counted up to three the 982 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 1: nets one tier, the other tiers people that uh, well, 983 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 1: uh learn what ducks are? What? Yeah, I just think 984 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 1: access is such a bigger problem, like having a place 985 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 1: to duck hunt, especially in Nebraska, which is like not 986 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: overflowing with public land opportunity. You know, a lot of 987 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: Nebraska's waterfowl hunting is like the North Platte river Bottom. 988 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:54,040 Speaker 1: That's private least m h. You know across the state. 989 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 1: The whole way is leases across that whole river bottom. 990 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:03,440 Speaker 1: And so I struggle with like, Oh, there's all these 991 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: guys in Nebraska or young kids in Nebraska that want 992 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 1: to go duck hunting, but the thing holding them back 993 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 1: is that they don't know what a pintail looks like 994 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 1: versus if they had access to you know, what's the 995 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 1: price difference between the two tags. I think it's the same, 996 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. I haven't. I haven't found that. 997 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: Do you know anyone personally doing it? Yeah, I don't need. 998 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:33,160 Speaker 1: The thing that like makes me real reluctant on it 999 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 1: is pintails and canvasbacks. I mean, in general, I guess 1000 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 1: they're going to be less harvest because there's less of them. 1001 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,160 Speaker 1: But man, if someone's all of a a sudden whacking three 1002 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 1: pintails a day, not not a huge fan of that 1003 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 1: because they're struggling as it is. Well, it's a four 1004 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 1: year plan and they're gonna be monitoring the difference of 1005 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:59,000 Speaker 1: the harvest differences between the two tiers right to see. 1006 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 1: They're probably looking for us that right because these holders 1007 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to call the holders. These fellers what 1008 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:12,800 Speaker 1: tier The Tier two folks could go out and whack 1009 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:17,360 Speaker 1: three canvas backs a day. Hens. Yeah, had three hens 1010 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: a day, three pintails day. They could shoot three pintail 1011 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: hens and it's a three day possession limit, right, so 1012 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 1: they could they could come home from the three day 1013 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 1: trip with nine hand pintails. And this is an anecdote, 1014 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,280 Speaker 1: but one I'm pretty familiar with. Maybe some of the 1015 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:47,280 Speaker 1: easiest decoy ducks are typically going to be like a 1016 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: hen pintail or hand mallard. Like when a hunt's going rough, 1017 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 1: the ducks that still end up decoin are the hen 1018 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 1: pintails and malle the one of the ones up just 1019 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,880 Speaker 1: landing in the decoys all of a sudden. It is 1020 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 1: a pilot program. They just say it flat out. The 1021 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,080 Speaker 1: idea behind this pilot program is to allow novice hunters 1022 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 1: who have not yet properly learned duck identification, the opportunity 1023 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 1: to go water foul hunting without fear of breaking bag 1024 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:19,200 Speaker 1: limit laws. They want to recruit new duck hunters. I 1025 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 1: will say that, like it is intimidating if this does 1026 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 1: help some people like understand what what it is they're 1027 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,919 Speaker 1: shooting at first light. It's a good thing because when 1028 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,920 Speaker 1: you've shot your one hand pintail twenty minutes ten minutes 1029 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 1: after legal legal light, and you're real cautious the rest 1030 01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 1: of the morning. I mean, if you can't exactly tell 1031 01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 1: what you're looking at, you let a lot of ducks 1032 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 1: keep flying. So they got kind of a It's not 1033 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: frequently asked questions because it's like it's this is more 1034 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 1: like questions they can imagine in the future becoming frequently 1035 01:06:55,800 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 1: asked questions. Can you switch tears? Uh, you sign a deal? 1036 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Can't switch tears if you're under sixteen? Can you do 1037 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 1: Tier two? Yes? Does it affect goose hunting? It does not. 1038 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 1: Quote geese are easier to identify than ducks. What will 1039 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: be the effects of Tier two hunters on restricted harvested species? 1040 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,440 Speaker 1: Tier two hunters will be asked to participate in the 1041 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,840 Speaker 1: parts collection survey, So they got to send in the 1042 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:35,560 Speaker 1: wings from the ducks they harvest. That's interesting about ducks 1043 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: is like a wing tells you everything you need to 1044 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:42,280 Speaker 1: know to a trained I a wing gives you species gender. 1045 01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 1: You got to send in a wing so they can 1046 01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 1: monitor the species and sects of ducks harvested and determine 1047 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 1: how much of a difference in harvest there is between 1048 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:58,800 Speaker 1: Tier one and Tier two hunters. There in lies the 1049 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: there's the rub. If they do that work and there's 1050 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 1: no discernible difference, then right, yeah, I think in general 1051 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 1: the tier two hunters, if I was like foreshadowing or 1052 01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 1: forecasting this, they're just gonna end up with like more 1053 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 1: early season ducks and more hands because inherently someone that 1054 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,640 Speaker 1: doesn't hunt waterfowl and is testing it out is going 1055 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 1: to be like hunting those early season environment They're gonna 1056 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,720 Speaker 1: end up with probably more more hands, more drab. You know, 1057 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,040 Speaker 1: early season ducks. Have you hunted up in You've hunt 1058 01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 1: in the north where you start hunting early and the 1059 01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 1: ducks are so drab because they don't have their full 1060 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:48,000 Speaker 1: fall plumage yet. It's hard, it's hard to identify them. 1061 01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 1: You know, that's a whole another point. But Canada gloves 1062 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 1: off on pintails. They can shoot for a day and 1063 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: ten Mallard's too about see because duck I D is 1064 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 1: so hard early in the year. You know, Canada's season 1065 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: open September one. Well, ducks are like right at the 1066 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,000 Speaker 1: tail end of their you know, they're they're just coming 1067 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:19,960 Speaker 1: out of the nest, right, and they've pretty much said, like, 1068 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 1: we don't expect people to be able to identify hens 1069 01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: and drakes that early. So you can just shoot four 1070 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:32,240 Speaker 1: pintails a day in Canada and doesn't matter sex. So 1071 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 1: if I'm I guess, if I'm complaining about this ending 1072 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,400 Speaker 1: up killing some extra hen pintails and hen mallards, I 1073 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,280 Speaker 1: have to complain about that too, Well, it's it's it 1074 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 1: warrants pointing out though that not like waterfowl just just 1075 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:52,560 Speaker 1: we should explain to the folks a little bit. Most wildlife, 1076 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,719 Speaker 1: most of all game animals are just administered within the state, 1077 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 1: like each date runs their own program because the state 1078 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 1: it's dear or kind of it's deer, right, and one 1079 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 1: state could like totally screw up as dear heart, and 1080 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:10,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily immediately impact the neighboring state. Waterfowl does. 1081 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 1: So waterfowl is managed by the federal government and the 1082 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: state government's who work in collaboration to set limits and 1083 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 1: right because you can't have one state totally screwed the 1084 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,880 Speaker 1: pooch on it and then have it be that the 1085 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: next date suffers the consequences during the migration. But not 1086 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: only that, but we have international treaties, Like our ducks 1087 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,679 Speaker 1: are managed at a state level. Our ducks are managed 1088 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 1: at a federal level, and they're managed in collaboration with 1089 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 1: Canada and Mexico. So no one's really like totally going 1090 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 1: at rogue. No. I don't want to be the kind 1091 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 1: of guy that just hates everything new, So I'm gonna 1092 01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna back up. I'm gonna reserve judgment on the 1093 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,720 Speaker 1: tier one tier two thing until you see if there's 1094 01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:07,760 Speaker 1: like any kind of like crazy ass harvest difference. Yeah, 1095 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 1: in South Dakota and Nebraska, there's like things that don't 1096 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 1: concern me quite as much. But if this was the 1097 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 1: case in Iowa or Wisconsin, where you can only shoot 1098 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:24,719 Speaker 1: one canvas back and you get of the migratory canvas 1099 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 1: back population, stopping at Pool eight Pool nine on the 1100 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:33,560 Speaker 1: Mississippi River, is that thing? Yeah, So, like the Mississippi 1101 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,559 Speaker 1: River is the big stage in ground for canvas backs 1102 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:42,080 Speaker 1: in late October early November. But if all of a sudden, 1103 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,599 Speaker 1: like everyone decided to do this, I think you'd have 1104 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 1: these guys that love shooting canvas backsplate, they'd manipulate it 1105 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 1: and they'd go to a Tier two license and be like, well, 1106 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 1: now I can shoot three canvas backs a day. That's 1107 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 1: a great point, and that worries me. Yeah, you know 1108 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 1: what when it's a good point. When I was living 1109 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,400 Speaker 1: at Washington State. Um, I know that we're not talking 1110 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,200 Speaker 1: about Washingtontate, but say Washingtontate had this when I was 1111 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 1: living at Washington State on the coast, you would absolutely 1112 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:17,679 Speaker 1: do it for pintails, right yep, of course you would, 1113 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 1: because your duck hunting boils down like around Thanksgiving, it's 1114 01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: lights out for pintails. So I'll just be like, oh, yeah, 1115 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm going Tier two so I can just go shoot 1116 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 1: three pin tails a day because that's all I hunt anyway. Right, 1117 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm out there busting my ass trying to get drake pintails. Uh, 1118 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 1: single one to get drake pin tail. Now I can 1119 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 1: go like, who gives a ship that's gonna do Tier two. 1120 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 1: There's there's locations and states that would have to be 1121 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,880 Speaker 1: like exemptions where you just can't do it. They're in 1122 01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:56,680 Speaker 1: lies the rub that's like Michigan. The Bluebells and the 1123 01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:00,560 Speaker 1: redheads you know, are bluebells dropped till one and November. 1124 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,040 Speaker 1: And if you're hunting Lake Erie Ors, I had an 1125 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,439 Speaker 1: abbe in November. You have a ton of blue bills, 1126 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, you're passing on blue bills. Yeah, exactly. 1127 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: So if you could buy a license and now you 1128 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 1: can shoot three instead of one, I mean there's guys 1129 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 1: that shoot a lot of blue bills that are gonna 1130 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 1: get that license. Mhmm. Coastal Texas. I think the same thing. 1131 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 1: Pintails and redheads down there, Like those boys just pass 1132 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: on pintails and redheads most of their hunts because they're 1133 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:37,400 Speaker 1: already limited, like waiting for an extra species to show up, 1134 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 1: you know. M hmm. We'll see, we'll see. Remember earlier 1135 01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 1: when I said, hey, man, just you might not care 1136 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:46,960 Speaker 1: about duck hunton, but you should still listen to this. 1137 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:54,160 Speaker 1: It's because of how beautifully complex the regulatory structure, so 1138 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,600 Speaker 1: complex for wildlife. We have a guy we had on 1139 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: the podcast long ago. Uh. He's a social scientist and 1140 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 1: he's working on this thing where you you find people 1141 01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:12,040 Speaker 1: who are opposed to hunting or suspicious of hunting, and 1142 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 1: then you walk them through certain arguments. Not arguments, you 1143 01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 1: walk them through like certain realities and then you ask 1144 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 1: them how do you feel about what I just told you, right, 1145 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,760 Speaker 1: and they'll tell you, like, you know here in that 1146 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,160 Speaker 1: I feel a little better about it. And they tested 1147 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 1: all these different things. Um, they tested food, right, they 1148 01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:44,679 Speaker 1: tested uh, financial structures, so like conservation funding. Dude's name 1149 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: was Greg Blaskovic. He explains this whole thing. But try 1150 01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,080 Speaker 1: all these different arguments out right, and and you see 1151 01:14:55,080 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: what like makes people what what changes their impression? One 1152 01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,640 Speaker 1: of the things that UH, let me, I want to 1153 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,160 Speaker 1: I want to sauce this stuff by telling you what 1154 01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 1: doesn't I think that they found it's interesting that people are. 1155 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 1: They're not buying it over population. They don't buy overpopulation. 1156 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: When you're like, if you don't hunt deer, we're gonna 1157 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:20,559 Speaker 1: be overrun by deer, they don't buy it. Yeah, but 1158 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,960 Speaker 1: think about it too. Who's likely to be anti hunting 1159 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,040 Speaker 1: is people like from a more urban setting. It just 1160 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,640 Speaker 1: isn't gonna like people from They're not from the egg community. 1161 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,040 Speaker 1: So when someone from an urban environment you're like, oh, yeah, 1162 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna be overrun by ducks, They're probably like, what, 1163 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,080 Speaker 1: we're not gonna be overrunning I've seen a duck in 1164 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 1: three weeks, right, It's like it doesn't you know if 1165 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 1: you imagine like who probably is adversarial. It's like people 1166 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 1: of the urban sensibility. So when you lay out to 1167 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:56,040 Speaker 1: them like overpopulation of wildlife, it's just not something they 1168 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 1: live with. And they're like, uh, just this, this is 1169 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 1: not keeping up at night, the destroying the tundra. They're like, 1170 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,840 Speaker 1: I've never seen an It's like it's hard for me 1171 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,280 Speaker 1: to like, you know, I can't. It's just I don't 1172 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 1: buy it or whatever the hell. But either way, explaining um, 1173 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 1: the regulatory structure like how ship like what we're talking 1174 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:21,720 Speaker 1: about right now is determined and goes on. They're like, 1175 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, then people like, oh heck, it's cool. You 1176 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:28,960 Speaker 1: can see that put some ad ease, put some well, 1177 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 1: especially waterfowl should and would because laws with wildlife as 1178 01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,599 Speaker 1: a whole, it seems like it's taken to the next 1179 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 1: level with waterfowl. It's just that much more complex. I 1180 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:46,120 Speaker 1: have through my career, like I've had a lot of 1181 01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 1: exposure to, you know, people publishing production worlds who like, 1182 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 1: do not come from a nature background, do not come 1183 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 1: from a world upbringing, did not grow up hunting. I 1184 01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:03,160 Speaker 1: have found time and again people being pleasantly surprised to 1185 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 1: hear that there are rules that govern the taking of 1186 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 1: game were they thought that in their mind they hadn't 1187 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:10,840 Speaker 1: thought about it, but in their mind it's just like 1188 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:12,680 Speaker 1: it must be that you just walk out in the 1189 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,920 Speaker 1: woods and yeah, and they're like and you're like, oh no, 1190 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:18,840 Speaker 1: check this one out, you know, and you'll tell them like, 1191 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: for instance, there is a you know, you're the the 1192 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 1: end of your muzzle, like the end of your barrel. 1193 01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 1: There's a diameter. Okay, there's like a thickness. They tell 1194 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 1: you what's too thick and too thin? Right, Yeah, that's 1195 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:38,520 Speaker 1: a rule. And not only that, but what the projectile 1196 01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,519 Speaker 1: is made out of is regulated. They're calling no ship. 1197 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm just scratching the surface bar Every 1198 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 1: single aspect of it is regulated. Now, As someone who 1199 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,679 Speaker 1: didn't grow up in in this world, that is absolutely true. 1200 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 1: People just think it's blood lust, antiquated blood lust. I'd 1201 01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:57,560 Speaker 1: say that there's like a decent amount of people. I 1202 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 1: think that's what hunting is. Damn straight. You don't think that, 1203 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 1: do you feel? Of course? Not? All right? Uh? Oh, 1204 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 1: One last thing I wanted to talk about. So now 1205 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 1: Sean's gonna come on with with regularity, yea, to do 1206 01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,640 Speaker 1: duck segments, waterfowl segments, talk about ducks, the kind of 1207 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:23,639 Speaker 1: ship we're talking about right now, come on, he's gonna 1208 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: tell you something you don't already know. Yep for the 1209 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,840 Speaker 1: most of you, but uh as a teaser to titillate everybody, 1210 01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 1: talk about the complexities that you have right like, you're 1211 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:40,720 Speaker 1: you're traveling around hunting dark state state state in a 1212 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 1: truck for the most part, driving from pulling the boat driving. 1213 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:51,480 Speaker 1: Explain to folks some of the complexities of of managing 1214 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 1: your kill, managing your take. Yeah, it is so much 1215 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 1: more complicated once you get into like even moving a 1216 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 1: duck for starters, has to be wing or head attached, 1217 01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 1: depending on where you're at, moving it anywhere, moving it 1218 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:14,599 Speaker 1: anywhere except that's final resting place of like your home. 1219 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,200 Speaker 1: Um so not your camper trailer. No, So there's no 1220 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 1: breasting out birds when you're on the road. And this 1221 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,640 Speaker 1: is something that I've seen very neglected. I guess I 1222 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:32,160 Speaker 1: would say just in general with waterfowl hunters, that people 1223 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,679 Speaker 1: don't really care about it or know about it until 1224 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,880 Speaker 1: they get written a ticket for it, right, They don't 1225 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:41,160 Speaker 1: realize that it has to have a wing or a 1226 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 1: head naturally attached until you get to your house and 1227 01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 1: they're content going somewhere and breasting out their birds, and 1228 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 1: they've probably done it dozens of times and driven home 1229 01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 1: with you know, no problem. But then it's the one 1230 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,240 Speaker 1: time they, you know, run into a game warden that 1231 01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 1: they all of a sudden they're aware of the and 1232 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:12,040 Speaker 1: see a lot of these federal offense and a lot 1233 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,200 Speaker 1: of these waterfowl regulations are so stringent because of the 1234 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:21,800 Speaker 1: market hunting days, because there was no rules around waterfowl 1235 01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 1: in the market hunting days, that once the rules did 1236 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:28,639 Speaker 1: come about, they were like really laid down. The law 1237 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 1: really really had to be serious and particular to stop 1238 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 1: the market hunting. And you actually had certain places that 1239 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 1: were like holdouts. The Illinois River Valley is notorious for 1240 01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:48,880 Speaker 1: like even when the bird treaties came about and market 1241 01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:53,160 Speaker 1: hunting was no more, they were like, screw it, We're 1242 01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 1: going to keep doing. They were on board, and eventually 1243 01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 1: it had to just be like wardens and federal officers 1244 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 1: like pushed into the Illinois River Valley to finally put 1245 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 1: the kabash on on market hunting because they were gonna 1246 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: lose it all man, I mean we're gonna like lose ducks. Yeah, 1247 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: it's amazing, Like it's amazing that we have that we 1248 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,799 Speaker 1: can even sit here and talk about shooting three canvas 1249 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: backs a day because there was a point where they 1250 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 1: were just on a string. You know, there's almost no 1251 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:26,479 Speaker 1: canvas backs. Wood ducks as well, and giant Canada geese 1252 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, that's another whole another story. Yeah, it's crazy 1253 01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 1: when you read Elder Leopold Sand County Almanac, um, which 1254 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:40,040 Speaker 1: he was writing in the es his idea of what 1255 01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:44,599 Speaker 1: it means to see a goose, Yeah, compared to now 1256 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 1: like trying to get him off the golf green. Yeah, 1257 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,280 Speaker 1: so you can like finish out the round or whatever 1258 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:55,800 Speaker 1: you play golf. Um, just wildly different situation. And that 1259 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,320 Speaker 1: was in Wisconsin, right, what I meant to see a 1260 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,559 Speaker 1: Canada goose in Wisconsin, which now is you know, one 1261 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 1: of the better goose hunting states, and like they're everywhere 1262 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 1: also Wisconsin. Doug during um talking about being a kid, 1263 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:15,479 Speaker 1: and you saw a deer track southwest Wisconsin, you saw 1264 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,599 Speaker 1: a deer track. You ran home and told my dad 1265 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:26,440 Speaker 1: so crazy. So um, back on the like traveling with waterfowl, 1266 01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 1: so you have to have them attached the wing and 1267 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: wing or head. But then in addition, you have to 1268 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,800 Speaker 1: have the birds tagged, which is another thing that like 1269 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 1: people are just so not aware of, is like your name, 1270 01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:45,599 Speaker 1: your address, your hunting license number, etcetera. This you know 1271 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:52,639 Speaker 1: what the what the bird and sex is. Um, all 1272 01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:56,479 Speaker 1: this information has to be like with the bird as 1273 01:22:56,520 --> 01:23:00,840 Speaker 1: you travel, and the birds have to be separated. Yeah, 1274 01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,880 Speaker 1: that's that that can't be frozen all together. That's a 1275 01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:08,920 Speaker 1: rule I violated a thousand times in the field. Is 1276 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 1: that you're in a blind with a couple of guys, 1277 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:11,880 Speaker 1: are in a boat with a couple of guys, and 1278 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 1: you've got a pile of ducks land there, and I 1279 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 1: am they're supposed to be those birds are supposed to 1280 01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,840 Speaker 1: be like that's mine, that's mine, keep on a string. 1281 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 1: It can't be that there's a pile of ducks in 1282 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:26,519 Speaker 1: the boat and you have to you know, I think, uh, 1283 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 1: I think that's been something that for a long time 1284 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,240 Speaker 1: game wardens didn't bother with, didn't prosecute. It was one 1285 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: of those things that was a law that wasn't acted on. 1286 01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 1: Was was like when they show up to a boat, say, okay, 1287 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:48,880 Speaker 1: you tell me whose birds are Who's right? But now 1288 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 1: it seems like it's kind of had a almost a 1289 01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:54,639 Speaker 1: renaissance of sorts, or maybe people are just more aware 1290 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,879 Speaker 1: of more cases of it across the country. But in general, 1291 01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:02,200 Speaker 1: party hunting is not allowed for waterfowl period. Like you 1292 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 1: have to claim what what you shot or what you 1293 01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 1: didn't and it's hard because you have a flock of 1294 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,320 Speaker 1: birds coming in and everyone's you know, together shooting at 1295 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,080 Speaker 1: these birds. Sometimes it can be hard to know like 1296 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,800 Speaker 1: who shot that hen mallard. As a waterfowl hunter, you 1297 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 1: just have to be responsible of like acknowledging that's the 1298 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 1: law and making a conscious effort to be like, oh 1299 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 1: I shot that duck, like that is going in my 1300 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 1: pile in this boat, or Max, I know you shot 1301 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 1: that duck, so you need to like claim that duck, 1302 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 1: take ownership of the dock, not just throw it in 1303 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:47,479 Speaker 1: the big master prey.
